Meeting of Congress.

The Fiftieth Congress will meet on the
first Monday, 9th day, of December. In the
Senate there will be SO Republicans to ~
Democrats. In the House there will be l6o
Democrats, 1853 Republicans and lndepen-
dents. 1t will thus be seen that the two po-
litical parties are quite evenly balanced. The
Republican majority in the Senate is but two'
counting Riddleberger, who votes generally
to suit his own views. The Democratic
plurality over the Republicans is fifteen IN
the House, and majority over Independents
and Republicans eleven.
The most important measure that will come
before Congress will be one to reduce federal
taxation. AT present, and for years past, the
receipts have been many more millions OF
dollars annually than required for the legiti-
mate expenses of the government. The with
drawing of this enormous surplus from general
circulation is not only detrimental to the
business interests of the country, but is abb
solutely unconstitutional and an unwarranted
oppression. Besides, as long as the treasury
is overlooking, it is o temptation to extrava'
9auce and target for schemers. President
Cleveland and prominent Democratic Sena-
tors and members of the House have deter
mined upon an effort to reduce the annual
surplus, and will use their endeavors 10 take
the tax off of the necessities of life, and to
place raw materials GA the free list.

Rev. Father Heinau, pastor Of st. Joseph's
German Catholic Church in East Mauch
Chunk, Pa, has declared war on bustles. He
brands them as unsightly, as a production OF
vanity, and as altogether immoral. He further
asserts that unless the women of his congre-
CATION, old and young, abandon that offensive
article he will not give them ecclesiastical
attentions, but will turn them from the church.
1t will be interesting to watch the result of
this decision-to see whether the love OF
fashion or the fear of accommodation will
prevail among the female portion of Father
Heinan's congregation. in his characteriza-
ton of the hustle most males will agree, but
it is question whether or not he has prom
Used too severe a punishment. Bustles are
universally worn, from the young miss of
twelve or fourteen to the great grandmother
Ladies without them at this time would look
odd, and if Father Heinan's lady members
would discard the hustle, he would probably
order their speedy restoration. At all events
we are inclined to the opinion that in this
contest the hustle will win.

as good usual AS ito his political ambition,
he would rather be President than right. In
